With all the uncertaintly surrounding the #6 pick i think it would be worthwhile in this draft to trade down and gain an additional pick in the process. Having the 11, 14 and 16 picks would be a pretty good score with the depth that this draft has. You could target several positions. Players such as Zeller, Leonard, Lamb, T. Jones, P. Jones III, Moe Harkless, etc. Rather than taking a flier on the #6 pick you could probably get a player of equal value at 14 and 16. Not sure the rockets would do this but it would be an oppurtunity to get additional assets with less risk. Especially when you are talking about drummond who comes with tremendous risk and he could be the potental player that the rockets would be looking to trade up for, if they were interested in something like this. The players i would target with these picks would be Zeller or Lamb at 11, Terrence Jones or Perry Jones at 14, and Moe Harkless or Kendall Marshall at 16. We would definitely want at least one big man if not two from the three picks we obtained. I have never posted before but hoping for some feedback and see if any fans would be interested in anything like this or if the potential at the #6 is just to good to trade down.
